Philosophy has a place in every time. It's just the form of philosophy that differs with the times.
Today's philosophy is relevant to todays way of thinking and living. For example, hundreds of years ago they had prophets, philosophers and scientists forming philosophy through lectures and books... Today, our philosophers are pundits, bloggers, reality tv contestants and web wizards- the medium differs, but the theory of new/old ideas to shape our life and way of thinking is the same.

Yes. Philosophy will always have a place so long as people are able to think...Even if many people choose not to think & turn on the TV instead, there will still be others contemplating the meaning of life & all things...

The world of TV and POP culture is escapism.... philosophic thoughts help one face life in reality..... philosophy is merely a thoughtful way of life and not a 12-horned animal out of reach of a common man. Life teaches philosophy and everyone learns in his own way!!!

Yes. Now more than ever. When a patient is sick is when he is most in need of medicine. The relevance of philosophy in society is always going to exist in inverse proportion to the extent to which societies act wisely.

A world without any attention span isn't against one that has one, but a small subset of a larger domain, where, like one who wears earplugs, persons bump into each other on accident, oblivious to the rich space that they could tap into.

Absolutely yes.
It is a very useful and benefitial tool and would help people to see the bigger picture if only they would turn to it.
